Domain Age Tool
‘Authority’ counts for a lot in search engine optimisation. Authority refers to the trust that a website builds with search engines, which is achieved over time when a site proves itself to be useful to website visitors and the content backs up how the site presents itself to search engines. There are many ways in which authority can be built, including everything from the other sites associated with yours to how relevant to your Meta tags your page content is.
One key factor that many people seem to overlook is the age of the domain itself. Having a domain that has existed for a long time can bring a lot of authority to a web presence, especially if it is complemented by a well-optimised website. The older a domain is, the more authority it tends to carry because websites don’t tend to last unless they offer value to users – which search engines take into account when ranking sites.
Though a website can be as optimised as much as it possibly can be, having a newer, recently-registered domain means that the website will have to build up its authority over a longer period of time. Though a website with a much older domain will still have to go through the right channels to build up authority through search engine optimization, it will still have an advantage if the domain has been in existence for a long period of time.
The domain age tool from Searchengineoptimisation.co.uk can verify the age of any domain across the internet. Enter the domain of any website into the above search field and press enter to be given the age of your domain, that of a competitor’s or perhaps a domain that you are considering purchasing.
